Abstract
We investigate the influence of ac Stark shifts on the propagation of phase-controlled two-color lasers in a two-level medium. By solving the coupled partial differential equations for atoms and fields simultaneously, it is found that the propagation dynamics are significantly modified due to the time-dependent ac Stark shifts.
